♪ with our pal Donkey Hodie!

-Hee-haw!

-Welp, is my potato stand all ready for business?

Let's go over my potato stand plan to make sure!

Step one - I have my potato stand sign.

Step two - I have a big pile of home-grown potatoes

ready for all my neighbors!

Step three - display a photo of Grampy

when he was my age with his potato stand!

And that's why having a potato stand has been a dream of mine!

[giggle] And sharing my potatoes with all my Someplace Else pals

will make me...

[takes a big breath] potato proud!

I, Donkey Hodie, am ready

to share my potatoes with Someplace Else!

And now for step four -

my potato call to get the neighbors' attention!

[clears throat]

Potatoes! Potatoes!

Get your delicious potatoes here!

-Hey, Donkey! -Hey, Panda!

-[sigh] I will take, uh, one lemonade, please!

-Oh, well, this isn't a lemonade stand, Panda.

It's a potato stand!

-Oh, I can see that now!

-So, do you want a potato?

-No thank you, Donkey. [giggles]

It's so funny because, I actually just got a big sack

of purple potatoes from my mama.

So, I'm good for a while.

-Oh, okay! No problem, Panda.

There are so many neighbors I can share my potatoes with!

-Hey, you know what,

since you're gonna get so much business,

can I help with the potato stand?

-That would be hee-hawesome!

With both of us working, we are bound to share all my potatoes!

-Hey-o! [giggles]

Hey!

Grampy used to have a potato stand when he was younger?

-Sure did!

-What's this photo on the other side?

-Oh, that's Grampy with his

Potato Washer-Dryer-Sorter-Dumper machine.

Potatoes need to be washed, dried and sorted.

And it takes a lot of time.

But Grampy's machine made it all go so fast!

-[giggles] That Grampy thinks of everything!

-Well, shall we, Panda?

-We shall, Donkey!

-Hmmph.

-[calling out] Potatoes! Potatoes!

Get your delicious potatoes here!

-Potatoes!

-Say there, Doctor Skunk, how would you like...

-...some POTATOES!

-Oh, thank you.

But I just bought some potatoes at the store.

A whole bunch of them.

-Oh. -And now I'm off to wash,

dry and sort them.

Oh, it always takes such a long time to do that!

Thanks anyway!

-Bye, Doctor Skunk!

-Goodbye!

-Ah, well, there are plenty of other neighbors

who will want some of our potatoes!

-There sure are! -Mm-hmm.

-Shall we, Panda? -We shall, Donkey!

-Hmmph.

-[calling out] Potatoes! Potatoes!

Get your potatoes here!

Potatoes! Delicious Potatoes!

Potatoes!

-Hm...

Maybe we gotta make some more noise?

-Yeah, let the whole neighborhood know we're here!

-Mm-hmm. -But how?

-I know, and it is step five of my potato stand plan.

-Oh? -You remember our potato song?

-Oh, of course! Shall we?

-We shall! -Hmmph.

-♪ We're potato-proud. Where's our potato crowd? ♪

♪ Calling all neighbors to gather round. ♪

♪ Down at our stand, come hear us cheer - ♪

♪ Delightfully delicious, nifty and nutritious potatoes here! ♪

-Hey, I just heard your potato song!

-Me too! What's going on?

-We're giving away potatoes!

See? Our song made some noise!

-I know, the neighbors came!

How many potatoes will you be having?

-Actually I just got a big basket of potatoes.

-Me too! A huge bushel of em.

Just gotta wash and dry and sort them by size now.

-Hm, bow wow! Me too.

-Which takes soooo long!

-I know...

-Well, looks like you already have your potatoes then.

-We sure do.

-Thanks anyway! -Bye!

-Bye! -Bye!

-Welp, we didn't share any potatoes,

but we try, try again, Panda,

and stick to the potato stand plan!

-The potato stand plan it is!

Hey-o!

-I will be potato proud today and share my potatoes!

-Hmmph.

-Potatoes! Potatoes!

Get your potatoes here!

-Potatoes! Potatoes!

-Maybe we need a new way to let neighbors know we're here

so they can come get their potatoes.

-Yeah! But how...

-Think, Donkey Hodie, think...

Hmm...

Oh, I know!

The next step of the potato stand plan!

A Tater Buddy disco party!

-Oh yeah!

A Tater Buddy disco party.

Of course! Hey-o!

[Disco music plays]

♪♪

♪♪

-Oh, would you look at this!

A Tater Buddy disco dance

while sharing potatoes from your potato stand!

-Yup! You got it, Harriett!

-Well, that's about as potato-y as it gets!

[giggles]

-So, Harriett, how many potatoes will it be

for you on this fine day?

-Oh, thank you, but a few months ago,

my latest invention the Potato-gatron

planted potato seeds in my garden.

And I just harvested her bounty -

so I don't need potatoes.

-You don't need potatoes?

-Actually, I'm on my way to get supplies

to wash, dry and sort em, which takes soooo long.

But that's potatoes for you!

-Oh well, no problem, Harriett.

-Toodle-oo!

-Bye, Harriett!

-Oh, I thought for sure

Harriett would want some of our potatoes!

-Me too!

-But it's okay.

We can do this, Panda!

-We stick to the potato stand plan!

-Hmmph.

-Potatoes! Potatoes!

-Get your potatoes here!

-Get your fresh potatoes here!

-Delicious potatoes!

-Potatoes?

♪♪

♪♪

-Yeah!

♪♪

-We followed the plan and did our potato call.

We sang our potato song.

We had a Tater Buddy disco dance to get our neighbors here.

And it worked, but everyone already has potatoes.

I just wanted to share potatoes like Grampy always did.

My potato stand plan is not working out...

-Well, then, maybe we should change the potato stand plan.

We could, uh...

oh! I know.

We can make it a lemonade stand

or a-a grumbleberry stand...?

-No, no, I just want to share my potatoes, Panda!

-But they all have potatoes already.

And they're all at home right now washing and drying

and sorting their potatoes.

-I know - it's such a long process.

-Yeah, everyone really does not like doing that!

-Mm-mmm.

Hmm.

Grampy's Potato Washer-Dryer-Sorter-Dumper.

[takes a big breath in]

Grampy's Potato Washer-Dryer-Sorter-Dumper!

-Yes!

Grampy's Potato Washer-Dryer-Sorter-Dumper!

Uh, why am I saying yes to this?

-You were right before, about changing our potato stand plan.

-Hey, yeah!

-Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Panda?!

-I think I'm thinking what you're thinking, Donkey.

What are you thinking?

-Instead of sharing potatoes,

how about we wash, dry and sort them for everyone!

-Yeah, and that still sounds like something

to make you potato proud!

-Let's do it!

-Grampy's Potato Washer-Dryer-Sorter-Dumper!

You put your potatoes here, and they go inside the machine

and are dumped out over there, all washed and dried and sorted!

-Hey-o! -Shall we?

-We shall.

-Hmmph.

-Potatoes!

-Get your potatoes washed...

-Dried... -And sorted!

-Huh? -What was that now?

-Did you say you could wash, dry and sort potatoes?

-We sure can!

-We're in the potato business.

-And we're potato proud.

-Hmmph.

-Thank you for your potato stand...

-...and potato help!

-Mmm, your help saved me so much time!

-Yeah! Thank you! -Thanks!

-Thanks Again! -[giggles]

-Enjoy your potatoes! -Bye!

Welp, I had a hee-hawesome potato stand plan!

-Yeah.

The plan wasn't working at first, so we changed it.

-And I was still able to help all my neighbors.

And I still ended up potato proud.

-Just like Grampy!

-Hey-o!

-Shall we?

-We shall!

-POTATOES!

-Hee-haw, am I excited for the day...

because I have no plans!

[giggles] Let's see what surprises await!

-Morning Donkey!

-I love that new hairdo, Penguin Referee!

-Oh wow, thank you!

How nice of you to notice, Donkey Hodie!

Hm.

Have a good one!

-See, that's surprising!

[giggles]

-[breathing heavily]

Come back!

-A giant cookie rolling through the yard?

That's surprising too! Ha ha.

-♪ La la la la la...

♪ La la la la la...

-Oh hey, Clyde! How's it going?

-It goes how it always goes,

just "la-la'ing" and floating across the sky!

-Well, that's how you clouds do it!

-[giggles] We sure do, Donkey.

So, what are your plans for today?

-No plans!

All my friends are busy, so no playdates for me.

-No playdates, huh?

You know, I've never had a playdate before.

-You've never had a playdate?

-I'm a cloud, and clouds don't really have playdates.

-Oh, I never thought about that before.

-I've always wondered how fun it could be though.

Hm.

Well, time for me to float on.

See ya, Donkey!

-Bye, Clyde!

-Oh, I sure wish Clyde could have a playdate somehow.

Hmm.

[gasp] Hee-haw!

I know what I am going to do today,

and it'll be such a surprise!

[giggles]

I, Donkey Hodie, will have a playdate with Clyde!

[giggles]

-♪ La la la la la...

♪ La la la la la...

-Clyde?! Hey, Clyde?!

-Donkey?! What are you doing up here?

-I am up here for a very special reason.

Clyde the Cloud, how would you like to have a playdate with me?

-Playdate? Me?

-Yeah! A Donkey-Clyde Playdate,

and it's bound to be hee-hawesome!

-Yes, I would love to have a playdate, Donkey!

Thanks! -Hee-haw!

[chants] Playdate, playdate.

It's a Donkey and Clyde playdate!

Join in! -Oh!

-[chants] Playdate, playdate.

It's a Donkey and Clyde playdate!

-Hee-haw! Let's do it!

-Okay! Uh.

So, how do we begin our playdate?

-Well, what would you like to do?

-Oh, I don't know,

like-like I said, I've never had a playdate.

-Oh, well there are so many things you can do!

I do all sorts of things with Panda and Duck Duck and Bob Dog!

-What do you do?

-Oh, uh, how about catch?

[whistles]

And...catch!

-Whoopsie doodle.

-[giggles] Don't worry.

Here, try again!

[whistles]

And...catch! Oh.

-Oh, you know, I move really slowly,

so catching the fast ball is something that I just don't do.

-Oh, well no problem at all.

We can do something else, Clyde!

Hmmm...

Think, Donkey Hodie, think...

Oh! Oh, I know!

How about Super Spin-erooo!

Yeahhhhh!

Spin-erooooooo!

C'mon, Clyde!

Woooo! Yeahhhhh!!

-Uh, hey, uh, hey, uh Donkey?

Yeah, clouds don't spin.

-Oh.

-But we do float in the wind this way and that way...

-Ohhh. Oh right!

Okay, so no spinning.

-Well now what, Donkey?

-Maybe there are some things that you like to do

that we can do on our playdate?

-Oh, well, I really love to rain down on the flowers

and plants to help them grow!

-See?

-You want to join raining down on the flowers?

It's fun!

-[giggles] Oh, Clyde! Ha ha ha!

I'm a donkey!

Donkeys can't make rain!

But we do like to play in it.

-Oh, ha, you're right, sorry about that!

-What else do you like to do, Clyde?

-Oh!

I love to turn different colors!

Like gray...

Or light gray! -Hm.

-Or dark gray.

You know, all the colors!

Pretty snazzy, huh?

-Huh.

That really looks like fun... -Mm-hm.

-...but I'm a donkey, and donkeys don't turn colors!

I guess we really are just different.

-Yep, I'm a cloud.

-I'm a donkey.

-I'm fluffy. -I'm furry.

-I play with birds. -I play with guitars.

-I live in the air. -I live on the ground.

-I am more mellow.

-And I am more energetic.

-I'm slooooow moving.

-And I'm fast-moving...

Does this mean we can't play together

since we're so different?

-Oh, I don't think so, Donkey. -Right, Clyde.

I'm not giving up on our playdate in the sky.

-Wonderful!

Now how do we decide what to play?

-This reminds me of the first time

Panda and I played together...

So, what do you want to do for our first playdate,

Purple Panda?

-Hm, I don't know, Donkey.

What do you want to do?

-Hmm...

Oh! Oh, hey!

Let's tend to my garden!

That's always a lot of fun!

-Uh, no thanks.

[gasps] Hey, how about we start with a bamboo snack!? [giggles]

-A bamboo snack?

-Mm-hm.

-Uh...No thank you. Hmmm...

Hey how about hoof dancing?

♪♪

-Uhhh... I don't really hoof dance.

I also don't have any hooves.

But I'd do the Purple Panda Polka?

-Uh, I'm not a purple panda.

And I've also never done the polka before.

-Hmm...

Bongos?
